Shibariumscan Indexing Issue Wipes Out Nearly 70% of Shibarium Network Data

A recent scare for Shiba Inu holders came when Shibariumscan, the community's favorite blockchain explorer, showed a network in freefall. Transactions, wallet addresses, and blocks on Shibarium appeared to collapse within days.

The numbers were alarming: transaction count dropped from 1.56 billion to roughly 475.39 million, a decline of about 69.55%. Address totals fell from around 269.93 million to about 71.3 million, while reported blocks dropped from 18.47 million to roughly 7.91 million.

However, the real story turns out to be far less dramatic than the numbers suggested: what happened is best described as a Shibariumscan indexing issue, not a blockchain malfunction. The underlying Shibarium network never actually lost the data that vanished from the screen.

Mazrael, a Shiba Eternity advisor and a familiar voice on Shibarium infrastructure updates, clarified details posted on X, noting that the explorer had come back online and resumed indexing after the outage.
